And, the separation of church and state if you actually look at it in depth it's purpose is not to keep religion out of the government or government ordained venues (schools, courthouses, parks, etc.) but meant to keep the government out of religious matters. Besides, ID is not a religious matter. If you look at the proposed theory of Intelligent Design there isn't a religious overtone about it. It doesn't say, "We see scientifically see that Brahama father god of the Hindu religion responsible for the world's inception." There's nothing like that. It merely states that there was something more than chance involved in the origins of the world.

You see, the problem isn't just with "worldly" women. I attended a special program for adult students at a conservative Christian college. I needed a few more electives, so thought a course in Popular Culture would be fun. My final presentation was on fashion, with an emphasis on overly-provocative clothing (including for small children - there's actually a "look" called "prostitot") and the WOMEN (all claiming to be "Christian", mind you) had a fit! Once again I heard the cry of, "We have the RIGHT to wear anything we want!" I tried to explain the effect on men, who are visual creatures, and told them they were causing these men to sin, but they didn't want to listen; I made several enemies that day! Ironically, after the class almost all of the MEN came up to me and thanked me, saying it was nice to see someone understands!

On Thursday night, February 10th we had just gotten back from a memorial service for my brother-in-law, Roddie Mead. We were getting settled into the motel and I was coming into the room with the last load. As I pushed the door closed, it pushed back at me and I found myself face to face with an unknown stranger who had quickly closed the door behind himself.

I started to challenge him by shouting "who are you?, why are you here?, you need to leave now!" while I stood between him and my family. Marie was brushing her teeth, Nat was in the bathroom with her, and Natasha quickly ran into the bathroom. Marie was wondering, "Why is Nathan always making so much noise?" She turned to see another man in the room. Known for never meeting a stranger, Marie believes that I was just talking to someone I had just met.

The man then proceeds to reach to his back and pull out a very large hunting/fishing knife. I now raise my voice louder and order him out of my room while he is shouting at me to get down on the floor. Then Marie saw the knife. Still brushing her teeth, the Holy Spirit said, " Let's Go!" Marie said," OK Let's Go!" Rushing through the room towards the intruder still brushing her teeth, she spit the toothpaste out on the way. The Holy Spirit said through Marie:

"STOP IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!"
"SATAN YOU ARE A LIAR!"
"SATAN YOU AND YOUR DEMONS WILL BURN IN HELL FOREVER!"
"SATAN YOU ARE DEFEATED!"
and many more things that she cannot remember.

I realized that this man is not going to leave for Nathan Levy so I point to him and say

"BE GONE SATAN IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!"
"LEAVE THIS PLACE NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS!"

The POWER of God could be felt, it was so thick in the room! Satan and the demons fled out of the man, and through the door. This man became himself again. He said "If I put the knife down you won't call the police will you?" We agreed not to call the police as long as he let us talk to him about Jesus and he slides the knife onto the table. Marie grabs him and hugs him. They fall to the floor together. As they fell to the floor the Tremendous Love of Jesus could be felt in the room. Marie whispered ,"Jesus loves you. Jesus loves you SO MUCH. Jesus DIED for you." He is deeply sobbing.

This much I know-Just as the blood in our veins is blue until it recieves oxigen, the inside of a watermelon has no color until it is exposed to light. In the absence of light everything is colorless. So to we don't understand without light. Genesis that creatures in the water, birds, and man were created, beasts and creeping things were made, plant life simply came forth. There were 3 different processes at work. To say God created everything is simply not true; the Bible makes no such claim.

From a story on how clerics in Afghanistan want to ban Indian soap operas...

"Our people are not against modern development or entertainment, but they should not turn our children away from the path of Islam," said Enayatullah Balegh, a member of the council. "I can control my daughter to not have illegal relations with boys, but TV is like Satan -- it is something you cannot control."

Someone said we should legalize gay-marriage because it will bring money to san francisco. Let's also legalize all drugs - sales tax, prostitution (more tax), murder(1000/body)... Some things are simply wrong. Issue at the table is NOT about rights but culture. and when minority (estimated 200 thousand households among 40mln Californians) is forcing their culture down majority throat through courts decisions, majority will speak up. Because this is what gays do - they force their agenda on me through courts. Do NOT compare it with race movement. it was WHITES who started war over slavery, not blacks. If slavery was not removed, there would have been no "I have a dream" speach (to clarify - I am happy that speach took place!). Comparing gays agenda to race would be same as imaging that blacks started our Civil War - they did not. In any case - San Francisco is up for big surprise in Novemeber. Now all of you who are supposed to die for my right to disagree with you - give me thumbs up.

I didn't know where else to put it, so I thought I would put it here. The other night I was watching a moveie about creation vs. evolution. I learned a lot of stuff. Creation says eating the right foods can fight diseases and Evolution says taking medicines will. it might not have been worded exactly like that, but it was close.

[First ever Sikh GAY Anand karaj - Wedding ceremony]

Sikhs or others, this whole Gay marriage thing is SICK!

If two people want to do their un-natural thing in private, let them have it. But to have this sick behavior legally recognized as marriage! It is an insult to the institution of marriage!

Scientists say most gays are born that way due to a kink in their brains, and others due to certain culture. OK, so let us tolerate the behavior until a medical cure is found. But one doesn't have to use this birth defect to derail the sanctity of marriage.

I bet the next thing to be legally recognised as marriage would be:

1. Sex with animals
2. Polygamy

The issue is this: much of the African culture originally was not based in God. It was based on superstition, idol worship and shamanism. That's separation from God. That produces many of the fear disorders that are in the black communities.

Evolution "Science" (LOL!!!) is a platform for self-deluding imbeciles to pretend that they possess some meaningful knowledge in order to fool other imbeciles, get free drinks at the pub, and score fat chicks with no taste or sense of shame.

There exists absolutely NO EVIDENCE of evolution beyond the tortured hypothesis of a son-of-a-preacher who used his syphillus-twisted imagination to strike back at his overly strict Daddy.

And he, like all Darwinist-chimp-spawn, will burn forever in Hell for refusing to acknowlege God as their Creator and Lord.

Surprise: God defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. It's in Script.

[Examples of polygamy in the bible]

Wow, not so much as one quote from the Christian NT.

The Jews disobeyed God. It's the same for you and me and them - listen to God or say hello to satan.

[...]

Yep, satan does his best to convince you that you don't need to listen to God.

That's how he gets his fresh meat - finding suckers.

Of all the Satan-derived religions, athiesm is the one that gets in my craw the most. Them people are always after "logic" or some other proof that the LORD exists and is involved in our lives in some meaningful way.

Fact is, the only "proof" we have for God is that we each have some ability to sense him. We've all been told from birth that there is some type of God - the muslim have their moon god, the catholics have the queen of heaven, the hindu have that Shiva, etc.

Now we all know that these are false gods, but dang, at least it's a god and because people have beliefs that they've been told from birth just lets me know that it has to be the truth - that there is God. I just happen to know that Jesus is the right one.

Like someone said above, the martyrs didn't get killed over a LIE! They knew the truth and stayed with it because they knew Jesus was real. Even the Muslims today are killing themselves to be martyrs because they know there is a afterlife. They might be wrong about the afterlife, but they definately know that something is there - why would they be willing to die for it if it was all a fake?

But these atheist come around and just ruin all our proof and point out crazy stuff. Well, maybe we don't have "science" proof, but we all know the facts. Logic doesn't have nothing to do with faith.

Yeah.... this is why our family wouldn't even THINK of visiting DisneyLand, DisneyWorld, etc... the older boys don't want to see that stuff (they don't even like seeing boys and girls kiss, much less boys and boys...), and we don't want our little guy exposed to it either. Pastor and youth pastor, I'd have thought, would do some research since Disney "Gay Pride Days" are pretty widely known to happen there, etc... so that their vacation plans didn't have to coincide.

Excerpt from a site about how God Hates Christmas:

"Everywhere you go throughout December in America, you will hear Christmas music. Openly homosexual singer, Elton John, has a Christmas album. Homosexuality is an abominable sin according to the Bible! Radio stations play his music all across America. When sinners living in wicked rebellion against God sing Christmas praises, do you think God is pleased? I tell you, God is extremely angry! (Psalm 7:11). God has no pleasure in the song of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:5). You'll hear "Holy, holy, holy" one song, and then godless Michael Jackson the next. The radio-waves at Christmas time are filled with the most ungodly and reprobate heathens singing Christmas songs...it is a horrid STENCH in the nostrils of God."

So "creationism"(I prefer to call it Christianity. Whatever happened to that? Is it now no longer a word?) can't be proved. And neither can the Big Bang. The Earth has to come from somewhere, I think humans weren't meant to know. Did you know that before Darwin died, he rejected his theory of evolution? And now, humans think that apes are "evolutioning into humans again". They've been seen using primitive tools to hunt. So in three(hundred, was it?) million years, no more monkeys. Scientists love the phrase "__ million years" If they don't believe Jesus ever existed, how come, if "there have been billions and billions of years," we're only in the year 2007? Where does BC turn into AD for the scientists? Really, don't believe them. When it comes to evolution, it's all junk.

I'll just add this. I don't know if it's significant or not.
My daughter, 6, loves to learn about the Bible and we read Pilgrim's Progress and she loves reading about Jesus, Noah and Moses and Joshua...A couple of days ago she wanted to watch her tape "Creation" by Hannah Barbara (which she's watched many times) so I put it in and went out to feed the chickens. She came out quite soon after and was visibly shaken. She said she didn't want to watch that - she was nervous. She wanted to watch something else like Spongebob or Little Bear but not anything that had to do with heaven. She said she didn't want to talk about it and said she was very nervous. I said, "Well, I will just say one thing and then we can drop it - heaven is the loveliest and safest place you can be." Yes, she knew that but she didn't want to talk about it because she was nervous. Later in the day she said it wasn't heaven she was so worried about, it was the rapture. I told her that the rapture was a good thing - a wonderful thing. I didn't know if it would happen soon but if it did then all pain and suffering would be over. Later, we were sitting together on the couch and she was still nervous and thought she might be sick. So, I got a bucket and we sat back down and I said that when I was really nervous, I prayed. Jesus is always there to listen and He loves you so much. So, she shut her eyes and prayed. But the last 2 days she's been sticking to me like a tick and doesn't want me out of her sight and last night she threw up. I think maybe she's scared of either being left behind or losing track of me in the air. Scared of the unknown. Afraid of people she loves being left behind...

Right now, not only in the states but around the world, Christians are on the hot seat for persecution. They don't want us to speak the truth. Slowly but surely the Christians are being silenced. There will come a day (and soon) where it will be illegal for pastors or others to publicly say anything that is against gays and homosexual lifestyle.

Don't think it won't happen. In the end times (now) the good will become bad - the bad will become good. Its happening faster then anyone realizes.....except the Christians that ARE awake and see what is going on.

[A text under a pic of jesus helping a girl to play golf]

How can anybody say that Jesus is not 100% real. Every time something good happens it’s because Jesus makes it so. Anytime something bad happens that is the Devil’s work. The fact that good and bad exists proves that God exists. Atheists have no sensible response to this obvious fact.

We are not talking about your interpretation of Genesis or your devotion to God.

[Oh, but we are. You're saying that I'm not a Christian, but an agnostic, if I accept the Theory of Evolution and everything else that usually goes with it in the scientific consensus. You're yet to tell me how that makes me not a Christian, as I believe I have fulfilled the criteria that actually matters.....]

Saying you truly believe God exists but also truly believe Evolution is completely real is a logical fallacy and hypocritical. You are just trying to please the other side and save you beliefs.

The Bible talks about evolution and says that people that believe in it are fools. Does that meet your criteria?

Last week, my 10 year old presented me a picture he painted. Nothing unusual about that as he is a really talented little artist who has won a few art contests at school. He titled it "Rapture" and it showed a car crashed into a big gas sign along a country road and on fire. The gas price was $6.14. On the other side of the road was a man kneeling in prayer. Various pieces of debris were scattered around. Hmmm. Yesterday when I was on my way home, gas was $4.16- the reciprocal amount from his painting. It made me think about it again... [...]
